The Teradek Bond HDMI Live Event Bundle is an ingenious little HD video transmission system that employs up to five USB cellular modems (not included) to send high-quality H.264 files over the Internet – from anywhere with cellular coverage and to a Web-based streaming service. The key to the system is the Bond device's ability to split an encoded H.264 stream into pieces, and the system's Adaptive Internet Streaming technology, which adjusts bit rates and buffering on the fly based on changing network conditions.
The Bond HDMI Live Event Bundle starts with the Cube 250 encoder, which has an HDMI input that accepts a compatible signal from your camcorder's output. (Or from your DSLR, as long as it puts out a clean HDMI signal. Most DSLR cameras do not.) The encoder sends the encoded H.264 video to the Bond device via USB. Bond works its magic in conjunction with the 3G/4G USB cellular modems that you've attached to the device like antennae. Even with all those elements combined, this is remains a low-power, lightweight system – Bond and the Cube 250 together weigh only 13 oz.
For live-event producers and freelance camera operators, this setup means that even with mediocre network coverage, delivery of a high-definition video stream is ensured. How do these cellular streams get recombined into a usable video signal? Teradek supplies Sputnik software, which can exist either on a Linux server or in a cloud computing environment, such as Amazon EC2 or Rackspace. Sputnik puts out an MPEG-TS stream that's compatible with most H.264 IP decoders, including Teradek's Cube decoders (sold separately).
Alternatively, Sputnik can be set to send the recombined stream directly to Livestream or another web video streaming service, which presents a supremely simple way to live-stream a newsworthy event.
Note! MPEG-TS license required in order to use the generated MPEG-TS stream.
Bond Multiplexer
- Live streaming from any location with adequate cellular coverage
- Uses up to five 3G or 4G USB modems to provide a single high-bandwidth link for streaming high-definition videos over the Internet via a web streaming service
- Adaptive Internet Streaming technology ensures that your content is delivered reliably and at the highest quality possible
- Sputnik software aggregates the split-up video streams, reconstructing everything in sync and in proper sequence. The software also can be set to stream directly to the web (via Ustream, Akamai, Livestream, and more), stream to a decoder (sold separately), or record the stream
- Low-power hardware-based video compression and advanced streaming options like MPEG-TS, RTMP, etc. This bundle comes with a MPEG-TS license for direct broadcast playout from the decoder
- Bond is a lightweight multiplexer that weighs less than 7 oz (200 g) and is about the size of a deck of cards
- Operates on 6-28VDC power supply
Cube 250 Encoder
- Camera-top HD video encoder – sends H.264 video to the Bond device via a USB connection
- HD-SDI input for accepting the signal of any professional camcorder with HD-SDI output
- Line-of-sight WiFi range up to 300' (91 m) for quick streaming of HD videos. Dual-band WiFi (2.4/5.8 GHz) for monitoring to devices such as tablets
- Users can start broadcasting by entering Livestream details into encoder's user interface – a free 30-day membership for a premium channel on Livestream is included with every purchase of Cube
- Direct streaming to decoding devices such as a laptop or iPad is offered via the ad-hoc networking mode which eliminates the need for any other intermediary equipment
- Web interface features a setup wizard to simplify configuration
- You can create a network, log on to Cube's web interface, complete the setup wizard, and start streaming video after connecting video to the Cube system
- H.264 high-profile (level 4.1) video compression enables high video quality at lower bit rates
- A built-in scaler can be employed to downscale 1080-line video to lower resolutions (720, 480, or 240). Users can choose target bit rates (2-4 Mb/s for HD; sub-1 Mb/s for SD) and a video resolution as required based on available IP bandwidth
- End-to-end latency is only 1/8 to 1/2 second
- Compact design – about the size of a deck of playing cards
- Mounts to a rod system, a cage, a hot shoe, or a camera baseplate
- Tested extensively with camera systems such as RED ONE, Arri Alexa, and Panavision Genesis
Sputnik Aggregation Software
- Sputnik is Teradek's software interface between Bond and your streaming destination. Sputnik is designed to run on a Linux computer either in the cloud (using Amazon's EC2 services, for instance) or on a local server with a single, publically addressable TCP port. Sputnik recombines the various video feeds from Bond into a cohesive stream that can then be sent to an H.264 decoder or played back online
